+# Quilt Example Mod
 
+The official Quilt example mod. You can use it as a template for you own mods!
 
 ## To use this template
-1. Click on `Use this Template`
-2. Clone the resulted repo on your pc
-3. Enjoy!
+
+1. Create a new repository from this template with `Use this Template`
+2. Clone the recently-created repo on your PC
+3. Make the necessary changes in order to make it yours:
+    - Update `gradle.properties` in order to use your Maven group and mod ID
+        - If you don't know which Maven group to use, and you are planning to host the mod's source code on GitHub, use `com.github.<Your_Username_Here>`
+    - Update `quilt.mod.json` in order to reflect your mod's metadata
+        - If you are planning to include a mod, don't forget to declare its dependency on it!
+        - The icon provided here is a placeholder one. If you aren't able to replace it yet, you can delete it and remove the "icon" property
+    - Create a LICENSE file for this mod! If you don't know which license to use, check out [here](https://choosealicense.com/).
+        - If you use `LICENSE.md`, don't forget to update the buildscript in order to use that file name!
+    - Update the Java sub-directory structure so it reflects your Maven group
+4. The mod is now ready to be worked on!
